1235281 2011-10-03 22:44:00 I've been buying any brand of bedsheets over the years and every duvet cover I get, theres always something wrong with it: the zip breaks or always comes apart, gets caught; the edges have hundreds of long loose threads, the buttons come off, sometimes buttons are missing even from new, etc...
Now, it's that time again, I need one or 2 new duvet covers. What is a good quality brand that is not rediculously expensive? Preferably something I can buy online?

1235282 2011-10-04 03:18:00 You get what you pay for. If you are spending less than $80-100 for a queen duvet cover set then chances are it is cheap and nasty.

The last two or three I have bought have been from Farmers and they have lasted well over five years each. I only changed them as I got sick of them. :p

Wait for sales in Farmers and buy them when they are 30-50% off. Oh, and expect to still pay the above prices when they are on sale. You can get cheaper of course, but don't expect quality.

1235284 2011-10-04 04:34:00 Foxy is right, wait for the sales. It's not just rubbishy stuff that goes into sales, but patterns and designs change, so they need the turnover. Marnie (4574)

The beds had feather blankets top and bottom and was just like sleeping on Air so when I got back the next day I had some Feather Blankets from Briscoes
Nothing else has gone on the bed since

They can be a bit of a mission to wash as are heavy and can make the washing machine grunt a bit

I buy warehouse stuff, last for ages and ages and ages. Even bought Trademe stuff and it lasts.

As you said, "Must be your nightly activity" if they last for ages & ages!! PJ

If you buy percale sheets they are ok.

1235290 2011-10-04 19:21:00 Aussie made stuff seems to last. Couple of Aussie brands "Cotton House" and "Morgan and Finch". These brands do have Chinese made stuff too - as above quality depends on what you pay. ellpow (16400)
